Kpop is now expanding more in the US for sure, now for other countries maybe I just don't know because I live in the US. But mainly for one reason…Psy. Why, I'm not even a Psy fan, and definitely not a "Gangnam Style" fan either. I mean the song is okay, but it's no where near my iPod or phone playlist! So why is he the cause of this, because America seems to differ with me on Psy. Last summer Psy's song "Gangnam Style" became the hit that EVERYONE was listening to. I didn't hear about it until like mid September from watching Simon and Martina's "Kpop Music Mondays".
At first I liked it, but then got tired of it real fast. But not everyone at my school, and probably a lot of other schools too, since it's on freaking Kidz Bop. Ugh~! People started dancing it in the halls, twisting his words to make it fit to what they wanted, and the list can go on.
Well I remembered how mad I would get (still do sometimes, hehehe♡) at how this is the only kpop people know, and if I showed someone another REAL kpop group/soloist they would turn it down, or be like "Kpop Who?" I guess they don't know Psy is a kpop artist. Ha…wow!
I would also worry that people might get into kpop and become bigger fans than me. Like when my friend told me she now listens to kpop I was very happy to have my first kpop friend, but also afraid. I don't know why I get these dumb feelings. Although, the idea of having more kpop fans is really exciting. So I guess I'll just have to study more kpop, and practice my Korean everyday (so I won't get these feelings anymore)!
I wonder what will happen this year. Will the kpop industry get bigger in countries other than Korea, Will people still only listen to Psy, Will the new fans be as passionate about kpop as we are? So many questions that we'll just have to wait to find out!
